WHATS HAPPENING WEDNESDAY
After dropping off the trike this morning we went to K mart and I found some sweat pants. They are so soft and warm…sure wish you could keep them this soft like this . Does anyone know how to do that?
I got 4 pair of them but they didn’t have any navy ones in my size. I thought about getting a large and I was standing there looking at them and thinking well maybe if I washed them in really ho****er and dried them for a long time in a hot dryer they would shrink up some and a salesladie said I hope you arent planning on getting those sweats in that size for yourself …I told her yeah and she laughed at me. She said well I guess you could cut them into and make two pair of them for yourself. She said your way too tiny for those. Lol it still makes me feel funny and at the same time love to hear it …well I went ahead and got a pair in small thinking there is no way these are going to fit me like I like sweats to fit , which is sort of loose and comfy…and the rest I got in medium….the small fits really good . And the medium are really really loose. Hope they shrink. But I doubt if they shrink enough…glad I didn’t get the large I would have been walking around holding up my pants all the time lol
We stopped at the Chinese place in town and had lunch. I ate some general chicken and some egg drop soup. I think it was the most I have eaten at one time in quite a while. I keep working on it. It feels like my tummy hasn’t ever stretched at all…im still at the same size as early out.. Oh well as long as I get my protein in and water in no need to worry about it I guess.
Susan yep I found them…and yeah I wish we were going now to AZ….next year we may decide to go out there. About the first of Nov. would be good …maybe if we ever buy us some land out there we can put a mobile home on then we might go out lots earlier and spend more time there.
Lou that area in there is some of the area we are looking at to maybe buy some land in….Hey that way when you came out to see your dad you could come see us too lol …loved the picture of the mountains
The Rincons and the others out there are just almost surreal arent they? It is just so relaxing out there isn’t it? Seems everyone that goes out there falls in love with it. I was born and raised in the Ozarks but for some reason AZ just pulls me there.
JANET:::: oh wow loved those pictures you sent me. I wrote you a long email so what ever I forgot to talk about in it I will try to cover here.
You need to get a mask and wear it so you don’t get sick. Ok…don’t you dare do anything to cancel out your surgery. Is Renee going to be there with you? If so ask her to call me and I will post it or she can post it herself ok …
Im glad that Megan got to go home…sometimes things just happens.
This weather is kicking my butt too…im ready to go to AZ …lol
If I bought things like you are talking about I would save the box tops for you but I don’t buy that sort of stuff. I make most of my stuff myself and don’t buy boxes
Now why in the world would you want to be awake during surgery????you want to watch ?
LANA good to see you on here….hope you had a great time on your vacation. Sounds like you did . Will be good as always to see you again at the support meeting.

GOD BLESS YOU TODAY
JAN COOK
Good morning everybody,
I've been lurking again, but have been trying to deal with some family issues without losing what sanity I have left. I raised 4 children, 1 girl and 3 boys. My daughter and her hubby life north of KC, MO. I don't get to see very much of her but when we get together it's great, the guys however all live close, one of them lives here in his own mobile home, I see him almost everyday and we get along great. The problem is the three Man-Boys still fight like they did when they WERE chidren and sometimes I want to just divorce them and move to a deserted island somewhere. The fights aren't physical and are never about anything important. It's like he touched this or borrowed that and didn't bring it back. Oh I'm doing what I didn't want to do. Just when I think I'm gonna lose they are getting together to plan their next hunting trip.LOL. I love my kids but makes wonder some times if they are ever going to grow up.
Then there is Matt, he's the middle son. Has 6 children, 4 by the first wife (who lost custody to him because she's a drug addict and went to prison for 6 mos.), then he has two babies with his current wife. He is fighting to keep custody of the 4 older kids and his current wife is having problems and because of those Matt is worried about losing custody of the older 4. Man I'll tell you sometimes my heart aches because I can't do anything more than talk to him and let him know how much we love him. I do thank God that he goes to a good church and has gone to his minister and is at least getting counseling for him and wife #2. I don't know if it's ok to post this here or not but just needed to get some release, I do turn it over to God and trust that he won't give him more than he can handle, but I keep taking the worrying back.
Thanks-for listening and being here. These are the times when I have more trouble eating what I shouln't, this time I came here instead of getting into the foods that harm me.
Hi. First of all, let me say I am praying for you, for your son fighting for custody AND for your family. Im so sorry your having the issues. At first, I laughed to myself because I have grown daughters and they fight just like your boys-and then just when I think they will never talk again and my heart is hurting over it, one of them will call and they are at the mall together-lol....So-I dont think that will ever go away, but hopefully they will always keep doing the activities that keep them going back to one another. One thing that I notice, is that my boys fight most with one another and the girls, the same-however, the boys-with their relationship WITH the girls, its different and they dont do that..I have 4 too, 2 of each. LOL...Keeps us on our toes, doesnt it?
AND.....YES this is the place to come to talk. PLEASE dont ever think you cant come here and talk about whatever. We have talked about every single issue there could be here. I have been a member here for almost 4 yrs and we have covered it all. From preop emotional issues, to having embaressing gas that gags people-lol.....there is NO issue too big or too small to talk about here and IF it is something on YOUR MIND-WE WANT TO KNOW...Thats how we are going to get to know you, and you us..... I welcome you to contact us here OR even personally when and IF you ever want to-to talk about anything you ever have on your mind, and ecspically if it helps prevent you from doing something you dont want or need to do-its much better for your pyschie....(sy-kee...) to come in here and get it off your chest and then let us pray for you and be supportive AND it keeps you from doing something you dont want to do.....I think we are on to something Scooby do-lol.. I think your a wonderful lady and I look forward to going through your journey WITH you......so use me for my ears and being a prayer warrior, and I will be here for you-SHOULD you accept the assignment (LOL).. No, seriously-its been really nice to get to know you and for you to open up to us. We LOVE meeting and getting to know our newbies and becoming family. We are one great big family here. We love everyone and we love helping....ecspically with preop issues. The journey is a tough one, but being a part of this board and getting to know these people-make the journey so much more bearable. I dont know about you, but it was so great to go somewhere and talk to people who KNEW what I was going through AND they understood and I had NEVER had that before! I didnt think it existed, really! So, I welcome you AND look forward to this journey with you AND....welcoming you to the bench..we are polishing your place..(dusting and patting the bench where your gonna sit, lol-right here by me :) Welcome, Welcome, Welcome) Some of us are a little crazy-but kids and life will do that to ya, you know? Have a great day and smile....it WILL get better! Like I said, I (and alot of others) are praying for ya!
Love, Janet
Janet,
Thank-you so much for your reply, it really does help a lot to know that others get it. I love my family and would never trade any of them but like you said they can make me crazy.
I am determined to take this whole journey one step at a time, even if it means minute by minute. I will take you up on the ear bending, sometimes just having some write back and connect is what the DR calls for.
Thank-you again soooo much.
Well, your very welcome, but honestly, there is no reason to thank me. I LOVE to meet new people and I feel so honored to be able to help ANYONE......I KNOW how alone I felt and in fact, it compelled me to write a book because of how the journey affected AND changed my life. It sure did!
I totally understand the minute at a time.....one day at a time, for me several days, turned into one hour, one minute, one second! I had to be on the liquid diet for almost 3 months prior to my surgery due to having to lose weight to have the wls. How sad is that, when your so big you have to lose weight BEFORE you can have wls? Anyhoo....I know all about it. I should clarify too-that I was super duper puper obese and I had to lose weight to qualify for the rny. Even if I had chose to go ahead with the sleeve, I would have had to have lose some, but not nearly as much....so I understand the second at a time-and speaking from experience, if I can do it-I have every confidence in the world YOU CAN DO IT TOO! YOU CAN! Before too long, we will be posting on here how much you have lost and all your WOW moments and I PROMISE......IT WILL make this crud your endearing now, all be worth it. Patience isnt a strong virtue for me either, but the time flies by faster than you know it-AND.. this website, combined with the friends/family you will meet here, WILL make all the difference in the world, IF your open to it-AND you want it! So....friend-your off to a wonderful start-and I AM HERE should you accept, like I said!
My direct email is [email protected] and just put in the subject line from Jeanie or I wont open it. LOL. I have a very strong spam box and since you arent saved in my addresses yet-it will go there most likely and I will have to get it out of there. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you! Love and prayers and HANG IN THERE! Your another day closer.... WOOOO HOOOO! Love, Janet
